So last night was the Yahoo! year-end party, which was held just three days after the second round of layoffs. It was known, however, that anyone who was laid off was still invited. And luckily, there weren’t any “incidents,” at least that I heard of. It was fun, once again, to see coworkers dressed up, and the few who just came as they were… and of course, looking to see who came with a date, and who didn’t…
The high point of the evening had to be the Dance Dance Revolution game, though. As a part of the festivities, they had a bunch of video and pinball games set up in one section. Nothing can be funnier than watching coworkers dressed in suits and formal dresses, including a founder of the company, stomping their feet blindly to a beat that can’t be heard because of the pounding bass of the live band overpowering the pounding bass of the DDR machine. Then showing off, even if it was only a medium difficulty song, because anything harder would have been close to impossible without being able to hear it. Then impressing said founder of the company. Heh. Yep, high point of the evening.
Low point was the bus back to work not starting and having to move into another bus with all the belligerent drunks, the sick drunks, and the tired drunks, and not getting back home until 3am.
My feet hurt.
